Bill Gates PAGE 1: BILL'S LIFE William Henry Gates
III was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1955.
"Bill" was called "Trey" by his father, since
"Trey" means three. Trey was always smart, and
always loved even the earliest computers he could
get his hands on. He went to a public school at
first, and made a few friends there. He was
pushing all the school had to offer to the limits,
until his parents decided to send him to a private
school. He at first didn't like the idea, but
shortly after decided to go. The new school he
went to, called "Mothers' Club," was where he got
his hands on his first computer. The mothers
decided to have a rummage sale. The proceeds were
used to buy a computer termi ...

Bill Gates Skinny, shy and awkward, teenaged Bill
Gates seemed an unlikely successor to his
overachieving parents. His father, powerfully
built and 6'6'' tall, was a prominent Seattle
attorney, and his mother served on charitable
boards and ran the United Way. While he showed
enormous talent for math and logic, young Bill, a
middle child, was no one's idea of a natural
leader, let alone a future billionaire who would
reinvent American business. Born in 1955, Gates
attended public elementary school, and enrolled in
the private Lakeside School at age twelve. The
following year, Gates wrote his first computer
program, at a time when computers were still
room-sized machines run by scientists in ...

Ideas Are Tools - 760 words
Ideas are Tools" I have found that the power
process #1 "Ideas are Tools" is the most important
learning process that a person can use to reach
the level of a master student. This idea suggest
that you treat ideas as tools and that each new
idea that the text has to offer should be used and
evaluated as to it's effectiveness. Imagine that a
new idea is a hammer. You want to take this hammer
and use it to see if it will do the job that you
want to complete. If it doesn't work for you save
the tool for future use and try another tool that
might handle the job better. Consider the textbook
as a toolbox and it contains the entire tools you
need to use to become a master student. You want

few people in the world today that can honestly
say that they do not know who Bill Gates is. This
Harvard dropout is quite possibly the most well
known, and wealthiest person in the world. Even at
the age of fourteen, Gates was on the road for
success after he started his own computer
programming company. This company, the Lakeside
programming group, was credited for writing
programs for his schools payroll account. Only
after a year of higher learning, Gates and long
time friend Paul Allen from the University of
Washington, dropped out of college and moved to
Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1974. Upon their
arrival in New Mexico, Gates and Allen ...

over Microsoft and the U.S. Department of
Justice's claim against Microsoft and its founder
Bill Gates of monopolistic practices in bundling
its internet browser "Internet Explorer" into its
popular Windows computer operating system. By
doing this, Microsoft would effectively crush its
competitors (it's main rival being Netscape
Navigator), and acquire a monopoly over the
software that people use to access the Internet. I
recently heard a listener on NPR (National Public
